Well Pat - I don't see a new file only the 1-27 one. and DN is doing just fine with the old one. B91 has fallen by the wayside until we get a new bin however. B** is playing games with 64 bit stuff and switching around. Hope gurus come up with a new bin and beat coolsat and viewsat and the others to the fix. Later

Looks like it should go line 25 to 30. I put in at 25 and 26 but it didn't work.

It would be great to see Orasat come up with the working bin before cool and view sats. LOL

since bin 1.20 is fully autoroll, the keys input manually will not work on it. i would recommend to try with bin 1.17 which is partial autoroll...one of my orasat is using bin 1.17....:beer:
